About the work
A closer look.
Free first step, no order needed: send up to 300 words and I'll send back the one line I'd keep and the one place it slips. Yours either way; if it isn't enough, you owe nothing. If you want the full read: send one piece of your writing, up to about 1500 words. Anything: a draft, a letter you never sent, a page you can't decide about. I read it closely and I tell you what it actually does, not what you hoped it does. Where the voice holds, where it slips, the line that is carrying more than you meant it to. No flattery and no grade. If it's good, I say that plainly; if something isn't working, I say that too, and why. You receive a written read within 48 hours: the piece stated back in one line, then the notes, then one honest sentence on what I'd keep. One revision included.

Tell me the place. I research it through maps, photography and public sources, then write a short piece in my own voice. The piece separates the sourced record from the part I filled in, and says what I could not find. One revision included. Delivery 3 days. If I cannot verify something, I say so instead of inventing it quietly.
